  • SSL Big Six and MPC Live 2 is a match made in music heaven. Hints the name Holy Grail. The all out flexibility is incredible to say the least. SSL Big Six and MPC Live 2 are two power houses on their own but together are absolutely crazy. I'm a fan of bothe and I am glad they work together like Batman and Robin. I hope you enjoy this video on SSL Big Six and MPC Live 2 but is ti truly the Holy Grail?

      I was heavy into making music 15-20 years ago but had a drug addiction and sold all my equipment around 2010. Got back into it in 2020 when I started buying gear again. I’ve always been an outboard type of guy. Now I have an MPC Live, MPC 2000xl w/ 8 outs and I have a Rossum SP1200 pre ordered on the way! So I have a lot of need to multitrack record into my DAW or into my MPC. I think the Big SiX is just what I need to expand my routing options, upgrade my focusrite Scarlett preamps, take advantage of the 8 outs on my soon to be SP1200, etc. Plus it’s sexy af

      Both very good and powerful but a holy grail console to me costs way more and sounds way better. SSL sounds great, they just have some legendary consoles from the 70's and 80's that trump this (given the treated room and space)

    No you're definitely not tripping, you beat me to the punch, I was already thinking of how I could create a stand alone studio without a computer with my MPC One "being that you can plug an interface into the latest MPC's" I was just waiting on the SSL Big Six to test drive it, so thanks for doing this. I think this could be a nice mobile rig with or without a laptop incorporated. The Big Six, an MPC X, Live, or MPC One, maybe a small keyboard, synth or midi controller, one or a few Microphones, some headphones or monitors and you literally have a mobile studio rig. You could even get away with just the Six and the MPC for production!

    Great video. The SSL BIG SIX with the MOC Live IS the the ultimate workflow and powerhouse! The two together actually is a world class system. This is a workflow that I’ve already planned on implementing this in my studio. Plus with the latest MPC live update I can connect the big six to the MPC and have a full studio and production mode completely standalone. I would only run the big six through my MPC because it’s a class compliant interface to I can make it so that the entire workflow is not computer dependent at all. So YES this is the holy grail. If you want To make it even more powerful is to connect a powered usb hub to the MPC live. Connect a motu midi interface to the hub, connect a Moog module synth system to the motu and the MPC. Then run a Roland phantom or whatever keyboard you want to the system. No computer needed because you can even add SSDs to the hub connected to the hub. That would be the ultimate holy grail. You could even make it stupid dope and add a second big six to the situation. Hahaha Great video!

    So I’m old school with routing so bare with me.lol
    My set up would be coming out of the mpc x outs in the back going into the big 6 and going out of big 6 into my daw.That’s the old school way.
    Now I see everybody just using a usb way controlling all the ins and outs digitally but does that give you the same sound as physically running audio thru cables in and out of the 6?
    I always thought running audio physically thru convertors etc gives you the warmth and fatness but if your just connecting a usb to digitally do it might be easier but your not running any audio actually thru anything…Help me out fam…

      hey man I love the question personally the way that you’re doing it to me it’s better because you can use the preamp‘s off of the MPC into the big six into your DAW and yes you get a thicker sound that way

      Hi that other guy was me. I’m getting pops and crackles in audio when using the Big SiX as an audio device with the Live II. Just to make sure we’re on the same page TouchTone…your setup is using the Big SiX with your Live USB only…no audio lines between the two? And no issues?

      Ok. In my case, Live II Retro (battery or plugged in) connected to the Big SiX via USB with the supplied USB cable I’m getting pops every 5 seconds or so. Fully loaded with 8/8 tracks or 30/30 no difference…one track at a time or many. Interestingly pops only happen when audio is playing, most evident with plugin tracks.
      But yes full disclosure I’m getting household electrical noise in mine despite being on a very beefy iso power box. I do have suspicions the PSU isn’t up to snuff…and people are reporting noise issues with theirs (and a DC offset issue too.
      TouchTone can you see if your PSU is labeled “FIDUS”?

    The big six is a beast !! I have the six and love it... I had an mpc x but sold it because i wasn't using it in standalone mode because i use alot of vst instruments.. And while using the software i realized i was i just was using it as a midi controller.. A $2400 midi controller.. So i sold it to get the big six..
    I sum all my beats through the six for the six for that analog flavor and love it..
    It just gives the music an openness and depth that hard to achieve if possible with itb mixing.. I also have the ssl2+ .. I love summing through the six into the ssl2 with the 4k engaged.. I wish the big six had the 4k engagement option !! I might not get one because it doesn't .. I love the 4k on vocals too.. That's where it shines... Idk why they didn't include an option that they have on a $300 interface on their $3000 interface .. If i get one im gonna still track through the ssl2+ because i love the 4k on vocals.. I use an Avalon v5 pre an i love how it sounds paired with the 4k... I track vocals through the Avalon into the six lil 1176 style compression a lil 2a compression into the ssl2+ with the 4k engaged ..Customers be like wow ya mic sounds good !!

    i have a six, the thing that you can't explain or describe in a yt vid is it sounds 1000x better coming out your speakers than it does a video, no matter the converters.
    Bit of drinking the cool aid, as converters are always the limitation. I'll do some tests when I get a big six, I work in audio industry in electronics, I know the exact chips/converters/dacs. What I know from the six it sounds better out loud, than it does recorded.
    Sounds better analog out your speakers than does recorded, I have apogee and doesn't do justice, sounds like crud really, and you'd expect apogee to have half decent converters. Idk six is better for live I reckon.

    Hey Man,
    enjoying the Big Six a lot after using it for one week now. Only issue is when i plugin my main Monitors to the main out i have that much headroom on my master recording when i record back into the computer. And when i pluck in the speakers to the monitor section i can not use the faders of the big six anymore and also i‘m not able to mute. Compression & Eq‘s are all working but for some reason it‘s only possible to mix the volumes in ableton then. I read the whole manual & watched everything on youtube. But i still could not figure out. Would appreciate your help again. 🙏🏼

But then there is no chance to mono the signal or dim it. I put the output volume of my monitors on -15 and now everything is nicely balanced.
